Like she said, he's butt high and has a long back. I think the problem with his neck is that all the muscle is developed underneath and none on top - ewe necked, is that what it's called? He looks like a difficult horse to collect up.

i'm no expert on confo, but the first thing i noticed was he is a little butt high. and his back is longer than average.

no offense to anyone, but i have noticed that in almost every confo thread someone says the horse is sickle/cow hocked is it just that common, i didn't think it was, or maybe the pictures are making it look that way or the way the horse is standing?

i'm not attacking or anything! i'm just thinking if it is something like pic or horse stand, how can we improve for the confo/critique thread? i've seen the comment on many many thread, and also on every confo thread i put, and to look at my horse i don't see it. so maybe there's something going on during the pic moment?

sorry if its almost off topic. i didn't want the idea to run away before i grabbed it :)

Having horses means: There is always hay in your bra.And you're never quite certain on how it got there.You realize that you just clucked at the dog

His chest looks massively wide....
His head is to small for his long neck and back. He does look like the rear doesn't belong to the front LOL I do like his biggo booty though. His shoulder isn't bad. His neck, ewe necked or is it the length of it versus the size of his head that makes it look odd?
How does he ride? Do you have trouble getting him to work with impulsion?

WyomingSissy, I agree. There are three explanations; the horse IS sickle/cow hocked, the pictures are not taken properly or the critiquer is seeing things. I ordered those from most likely to least likely ;)

Rascaholic, I do believe that his head/neck is a little farther to the right than the rest of his body so that may be playing with our eyes a little. I think his neck is pretty long/thin though compared to the rest of his body, ESPECIALLY his big booty.

I would say he rides pretty nicely, not the easiest ride though. Things like collection & impulsion are things that are slowly being worked on but have not been focused on too greatly.
